Beautiful and difficult 4-pitch route established and freed by Maurizio 'Manolo' Zanolla up the side of the large central corner at Tognazza (Passo Rolle, Dolomites).

Mixed ice climb, protected by bolts on the lower section, put up in 2010 by Valentin Riegler and Hannes Lemayr and freed in winter 2013 by Martin and Florian Riegler.

Route first ascended from the ground up using stainless steel 10mm bolts. Although not top end, the difficulties are continuous and the route is strenuous due to its length. Medium and small camming devices recommend.
